Celebration
by Gail Fasolo
This day will be a celebration
of the short time you were here.
You will always be remembered
with great love and sometimes tears.
But only to feel pain and sorrow
Would not be quite fair to you.
Your life meant much more to me
More than I ever knew.
You were here so briefly
I wonder if you know
All the ways you've touched my world
Since the day God called you home.
Now, my child, you're an angel
With your heavenly Father above.
I see not only what I've lost
But my capacity of love.
There will always be a big void
My soul will grieve forever.
Will I forget to stop loving you?
No, not now...not ever.
As this day is upon me
Oh!
How my heart still hurts
But even as I mourn your death
I celebrate your birth.
